I read somewhere that nickel blades are a neutral flash and don't show up as well as copper or brass.
Does anyone have any factual information on this?

I thought the word "cogitate" aptly described me. I'm an old man. I do most of my best fishing between my ears as rest in my recliner.

There have been reports of break-ins on the this forum (and others). I'd like to ask those who know the details if the vehicles had alarms and if so were they effective? Or even better yet, if someone knows of a break-in that was averted by an alarm system. I'm thinking of installing an alarm, but t...

A good way to adjust your tension is to put the weight you usually use on the end of the line and loosen your tension until the weight barely falls. This is a good starting point.

Brian,
I lived/fished in Alaska for 40 years. 18 of those years I was a guide.
I used mostly Lamiglas rods with no problems.
I’ve seen more fish caught on Lamiglas rods than you will probably see in your lifetime.
If you have a Lamiglas that you think is garbage I’d be happy to take it off your hands.

If I read your post correctly, you are not going to try to repair this rod.
If that is the case, do you want to sell it?

Back when I first started fishing for salmon/steelhead I used to just sprinkle a little salt on them and leave them till I like the texture and place in a bag with borax. Since that time I have tried several of the pro-cures, but was not satisfied with the time of processing or the results. So I hav...

It's a fish trap to count the outgoing smolt

Name - Steve Area - Bellingham No boat - but would kick in for gas if someone has an open seat. I fish for any species from N.Snohomish County to Canadian border. Non-smoker, non-drinker, but tolerant if not in a confined area. I am retired so any day I'm good to go, except Sundays during football s...

Check this link out, it is the gage information for the Stilly at Arlington.

Can someone give me a report on the condition of the Stilly?

Big difference from today and sunday. There were fish everywhere on sunday I was standing on the rocks I actually seen a couple of kings come through by my feet fish rolling everywhere. Today it was like a fish ghost town very frustrating I will be heading to the Sky this week until nets are down a...

Netting is done the same on mostly all rivers in Wa State.They zig zag the nets up river.the fish would need a GPS unit to navigate through them.If you drive down to the First Ave Street Bridge they have the up todate netting schedule posted on their readerboard.That way you can see all the fish an...

no low holing. ask to fish below some one. dont just run in aand set up shop. veteran fishermen hate this. and i do to Explain this one a little more precisely. The way you have stated it, no one should fish a hole if you are fishing at the top of it.[confused] Just how far down stream do I have to...

searun cutts can indeed be very bright and shiny, but they have a lot more spots on all of their body.

In the 1950s some places in Washington were planted with Montana Black Spot Trout. I haven't seen one in many, many years, but that's what they looked like.

I can say this to everyone though, if your catching fish the way YOU fish then good for you. I have to agree with pooh, but as long as it's done legally. Obviously if you are purposely jerking every couple of seconds then your snagging, but if your waiting for that bite feeling and then you set the...

superrrr long leaders beyond 4 feet Doesn't this definition makes all fly fishermen flossers?#-o No they use a different presentation. Don't take this as an endorsement of flossing, but explain to me the difference in a fly fisherman using a weighted line, (sometimes adding a split shot), a 7 foot ...
